Baby Carrot

San Francisco's Baby Carrot was originally formed in 1992. Taking their cue from such disjointed alt-pop messiahs as <a href="spotify:artist:3inCNiUr4R6XQ3W43s9Aqi">Pavement</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7lmde7T1WJPFwv1eR6melP">Superchunk</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:5UqTO8smerMvxHYA5xsXb6">Sonic Youth</a>, the group has been known to expand their sonic palette from time to time -- incorporating keys, violin, and layered guitars into the mix. Their late-'90s lineup consisted of Dave Power on vocals/guitar, Andy Chapman on bass, and Dennis Galway on drums, but by mid-2000, <a href="spotify:artist:774mHr909NkDVeyyXQBQfZ">Galway</a> was replaced by former Portland, OR, resident Oren Williams. Baby Carrot has issued several singles and appeared on numerous compilations over the years, as well as issuing the double-disc set Day Street 1992-1996. 2001 saw their first proper full-length release, Play Every Day, issued on their own Some Guy Down the Street label. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi
